Beginning of 2015.

Happy New Year! 

I thought today's instagram post would be appropriate to start off this blogpost. 

"Happy New Year 2014 has personally been a different one for me. Started off w an 8 month break: Travelling w my closest friends to Bali, visiting Melbourne for the first time (thought I was gonna reject Unimelb at the time), getting to enjoy Sydney's nightlife, short trips to Singapore (of course) & most importantly, rebonding w my family especially my dad (since I moved back to Malaysia after 4 years). The memories I made w my dad this year, I will treasure forever along with the other memories I made of course.
Had achieved something I never thought was possible: Got to participate in the Singapore Affordable Art Fair, sold about 8 pieces of my work.
Well those are some of the wonderful things that have happened. But enough about me. Many things have happened to Malaysia this year: 3 unfortunate flights & massive floods in 3 states (number 3 not looking so good right now). I guess these situations have taught us to be grateful for who we have with us right now. That's the best thing we can take from 2014 to the rest of the years to come. Its funny because so many unfortunate things happen every year to other people (war, poverty, sex slavery) but we only really learn to feel and do something about it when things happen closer to home. I will never know what the families of the passengers in those 3 flights or families who have suffered from the floods truly feel but I take it as a sign to really cherish the ones you love and to let go of ones who don't love you. This Instagram post can go on forever so I will stop here!
Happy New Year to all! May 2015 be a joyful year !" 

I wonder how many people have started a blog today. Blogspot must be receiving massive numbers of participants today. Hell! I thought I would start writing again last year and I did but I gave up after 6 months which isn't too bad compared to giving up after one blog post. 

For now, this will be my summer diary because unfortunately, I left my real diary in Australia and for some reason, whenever I come back to Malaysia, I feel the need to write again. It's probably because I have more personal time to reflect on my life which I love by the way. Instead of living my life in this fast pace world, I get to stop and think about what I've done and what I should be doing instead of continuously keeping myself busy everyday. Do forgive me for any grammatical mistakes I might make now and in the future. My English has deteriorated ever since I moved from Malaysia because of the lack of writing and I'm trying to improve it slowly. On the same note, forgive me if I drift off to a new topic all of the sudden. Sometimes I tend to think of other things and I just feel the need to write it down but hey, who's reading this, right? I'm writing this for myself and not for others (tho I welcome any positive or constructive feedback). 

I might write several posts in one day or none at all. It's really just a blog filled with my thoughts. I have no intention of gaining viewership (tho that would be nice) because I think this world is already filled with many social media outlets that make us feel the need to get many "likes" and I'm guilty of that so I'm trying to teach myself that that isn't important and I should post what I want to post, not what I think my viewers would like to see.
